Product Description:

The 8I66S200055.0C-000 is a compact AC drive manufactured by B&R Automation as part of the 8I6 ACOPOS Inverters series. The unit converts fixed-frequency mains power into a variable PWM output so that connected three-phase machines can run at commanded speed and torque for positioning, conveying, or mixing tasks. A built-in CANopen interface links the inverter to a higher-level controller and exchanges process data for coordinated motion within distributed industrial automation cells. This arrangement allows the drive to receive control commands and return operating status without relying on separate analog control wiring.

The inverter draws a mains current of 5.7 A from a 240 V AC network and needs a 24 V service feed carrying 1.1 A for logic power. At rated conditions, it supplies 0.55 kW of mechanical output while the line sees 1.4 kVA of apparent power. The power stage provides a continuous phase current of 3.7 A and modulates at 4 kHz to limit motor ripple. External braking energy can be dissipated through a resistor no lower than 40 Ω. The enclosure has an IP20 rating, which suits closed panels with filtered air. Mechanical dimensions of 72 mm in width, 143 mm in depth, and 188 mm in height allow the device to sit flush beside other modules without excessive spacing.

During dynamic peaks, the output can rise to 5.6 A for sixty seconds, and the capacitor bank tolerates an initial line surge of 9.6 A on power-up. Heat losses amount to 42 W, so cabinet airflow must remove this load to keep silicon junctions within limits. Despite the integrated power electronics, the drive weighs only 1.1 kg, which reduces the load on panel hardware and mounting rails. The startup surge and heat-dissipation figures are important when sizing upstream protection and enclosure ventilation for continuous operation.
